Abstract
Background: Femoral neck-shaft angle is the measurement of the angle formed between two intersecting axes, the oblique oriented neck axis with the vertical shaft one. It is an important anatomic measurement for the evaluation of biomechanics of hip. Spasticity is a muscular hypertonicity characterized by a velocity- dependent increased resistance to stretch, which is known to interfere with voluntary movement. Aim: Establish a correlation between femoral neck shaft angle measurements and spasticity grades. Investigate the relation between gender and femoral neck shaft angle measurements. Explain the differences in neck shaft angle measurements between the affected and non-affected sides cerebral palsy. Subjects: Fifty children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy of both genders with age ranged from three to ten years participated in this study. They were selected from El-Bagour general hospital, Ashmoun general Hospital and care scan private center in El-Menoufia Governorate.
